Make Room For Millennials
At The Jobsite
Construction has often
been considered one of the
last industries to embrace
technology. That is starting
to change, however, as construction companies look
for new ways to change the
mindset of those working at
the jobsite.
Enter the younger generation, otherwise known
as millennials. They have
grown up with apps and
solutions to solve just
about any system problem
that arises.
As the industry evolves,
it will have to embrace
more innovation in order
to entice and appeal to millennials—and those even
younger.
Some of the emerging
technology that millennials
appear to be comfortable
with that they might leverage on the jobsite include:
• Drones
• Artificial Intelligence
• Augmented Reality/Virtual Reality
• Smartphone Apps
• Tablets
• Wearables

manager, JCA Electronics.
There are advantages to
having more software and
devices on the jobsite besides attracting a younger
workforce.
It boils down to improvements in efficiency and productivity compared to older
manual processes, says Barry Peyton, product manager,
Intelliwave Technologies.
These types of enhancements can be measured and
traced back to bottom-line
improvements across the
construction site.
“The right construction
technology can centralize
information and communication, improve safety, and
reduce the amount of time
spent on non-value-added
tasks,” says Hollingsworth.
The attitude and outlook that millennials have
towards their life and job
can help entice them to
work in the construction
field. Hollingsworth says,
“Millennials want to add
value, make an impact,
and find meaning in what
they’re doing.”
What can be more rewarding
than
turning
piles of dirt into buildings,
roads, bridges and other
construction? b

“Millennials
have
grown up attached to technology. Jobsites today are
so far removed from what
millennials have come to
expect in their daily lives.
They expect new solutions
to do their job better, to get
rid of manual processes,”
says Chad Hollingsworth,
Co-founder and President,
Triax Technologies.
They aren’t afraid of
innovations, and they are
willing to try things out
and if it doesn’t work, they
find a newer, better solution that will.
One of the challenges
is closing the gap between
the more seasoned construction professional that
might be more hesitant
to leverage new systems,
and the younger, more
tech-savvy generation that
might not have as much
experience with traditional
construction methods.
“Older generations look
to millennials for how to incorporate the tech into the
jobsite,” says Paul Gomori,

‘Cummins Powers Women
Initiative’ Announced
Cummins Inc. (NYSE:
CMI) announced on March
8th - International Women’s Day - Cummins Powers Women, a landmark
community initiative to
advance its long-term commitment to the empowerment of women and girls
around the world.
As part of this program,
Cummins has partnered
with a network of trusted
non-profits to make a larger, more sustainable and
long-lasting impact in the
communities in which it
operates.
“Cummins’ mission is to
make people’s lives better
by powering a more prosperous world and Cummins Powers Women epitomizes this purpose,” said
Tom Linebarger, Cummins
Inc. Chairman and CEO.
“One way we seek to better
communities is by investing in programs that improve the lives of women
and girls. We’ve seen firsthand the positive transformation that happens when
we ensure diversity and

vancing Women’s Equality Can Add $12 Trillion to
Global Growth (2015)).
Through Cummins Powers Women, the Company
will partner with a network
of best-in-class, global nonprofit organizations in the
following regions that have
existing,
outcome-based
programs to accelerate gender equality:
• Girls Inc. – North America
• Rosa Fund – UK
• Save the Children – Germany
• China Women’s Development Foundation –
China
• Rise Up – Africa, Latin
America and India
• Camfed, the Campaign
for Female Education –
Ghana
• CARE Australia – Cambodia
• Girls Academy – Australia
“We were rigorous in
our evaluation, and we are
pleased to partner with nonprofits around the world
that have research-based
programs, metrics in place
and a really strong track
record of success empowering women and girls,” said
Mary Titsworth Chandler,
Vice President of Corporate
Responsibility and Chief

inclusion within our organization, bringing more
women into our business
at every level.”
Cummins Powers Women is the Company’s most
ambitious community initiative ever, representing a
multi-million dollar investment in proven programs
designed to create largescale impact in the lives of
women and girls globally.
The programs will focus on
areas where significant barriers exist to the advancement of girls and women.
For example, for every
extra year a girl stays in
school, her income can increase by 15 to 25 percent
(USAID (2017)). Research
shows that if women were
to participate in the economy identically to men, they
could add as much as $28
trillion or 26 percent to annual global GDP in 2025.

One of the manufacturing industry’s greatest challenges is inspiring young
people to consider working
toward a career in equipment manufacturing.
However, a new initiative led by the Association
of Equipment Manufacturers (AEM)’s Ag Sector Board aims to change
that fact by increasing the
number of equipment-specific courses being taught
in high schools today, to
help expand awareness
of and enthusiasm for the
equipment manufacturing
industry.
With help from the
Equipment Dealers Association (EDA), the two organizations have awarded
32 educators from 15
states partial scholarships
for certification in equipment courses starting this
summer. The courses, offered through the Curriculum for Agricultural Science Education (CASE),
will qualify teachers to
begin teaching the courses this coming fall and

reaching over 2,200 students in the 2018-2019
school year.
“By leading a teacher
scholarship program in
partnership with Equipment Dealers Association,
we have a great opportunity to help make students
more aware of and excited
about the opportunities on
the equipment side of the
Ag industry,” said Curt
Blades, Senior Vice President of Ag Services at the
Association of Equipment
Manufacturers. “AEM is
fully committed to workforce development and
we are proud to help provide 32 teachers the training that will help them
fully engage their students
in the opportunities available in agriculture.”
Since the launch of the
CASE curriculum, more
than 2,500 teachers have
achieved certification to
teach its classes. However, only about 90 of
those certifications are in
equipment-specific courses. AEM and EDA hope

to increase that number
through this scholarship
program.
“Since its inception,
EDA’s Foundation, the
Equipment Dealers Foundation,
has
provided
scholarships for students
looking to begin or further a career in Ag,” says
Joe Dykes, VP of Industry Relations for EDA.
“Now we are thrilled for
the opportunity to partner with AEM and CASE
to promote the value of
an agricultural education
from the other side of the
classroom.
Sponsoring
scholarships for teachers
is consistent with one of
the Foundation’s most important goals, workforce
development. The specific
programs we’re sponsoring are aimed at closing the skills gap, or the
gap between supply and
demand for equipment
technicians – a major issue in our industry right
now. We believe working together to get people
excited to teach and learn
about agriculture is the
best way to grow and sustain interest in our industry.”

piece of AEM’s broader,
comprehensive workforce
development
initiative
crossing the agriculture
equipment and construction industries.
To emphasize local
workforce development,
AEM and EDA members
located near the scholarship recipients have an
opportunity to connect
directly with the teacher
and their students. Manufacturers and dealers are
encouraged to bring the
teacher and students to
their facility for hands-on

experiences beginning this
fall. This supports longterm relationship building
with the teacher and the
students and develops a
sustainable grassroots effort to increase the number of qualified service
technicians and technologists entering the workforce.
“We expect agriculture
teachers to be ‘jacks-ofall-trades’ as they must
teach a variety of agricultural, natural resources,
and mechanic related
subjects while enhancing
core-academic disciplines,

such as science and mathematics,” said Miranda
Chaplin, CASE Operations/Outreach Director.
“However,
agriculture
teachers often have minimal training in how to
teach mechanics related
content and skills. Funding provided by AEM and
EDA is essential for teachers to gain cutting-edge
professional development
experiences with CASE
to enhance their teaching
practices in order to implement STEM-based agricultural mechanics courses. The long-term impact

of this support will benefit
and spark interest in thousands of high school agriculture students.”
CASE is a multi-year
approach to agriscience
education with rigorous
educator
training requirements and
hands-on, inquiry focused learning activities for students. While
CASE currently offers ten
courses, the Agricultural
Power and Technology
(APT) and Mechanical
Systems in Agriculture
(MSA) prepare students
for the wide array of career opportunities in agricultural
engineering.
Students are immersed
in inquiry-based exercises that emphasize in the
math and science of agricultural mechanics and
engineering.
During the CASE Institute, teachers will
spend 80 hours working through nearly every
lesson in the yearlong
curriculum and learning how to deliver lessons in an inquiry-based
way that will shift focus
in the classroom from
teacher-led to studentdirected learning. b

Terex Trucks’ Robust Machines
Make The Grade In Matlock
Calcium carbonate and
limestone processor, Longcliffe, is using a number
of Terex Trucks’ proven
haulers to move premium
limestone and recycled materials around its quarry in
Derbyshire.
The UK’s leading supplier of calcium carbonate
and limestone, Longcliffe,
supplies a variety of industries from animal feed manufacturers to glass, plastic,
adhesive and construction
businesses. Revered for
its versatility, high purity
limestone extracted from
Longcliffe’s
Brassington
Moor Quarry near Matlock
is an essential component
of feeds for poultry, pigs
and cattle. Calcium carbonate plays an important role
in animal nutrition as a dietary supplement and an
antacid.
Founded
by
John
Shields in 1927, Longcliffe
is a family-owned business
focused on continuously
achieving customer satisfaction, serving the local
community and playing its

role to protect the environment. Hidden in the heart
of Derbyshire, Longcliffe’s
quarry is home to one of
the purest and largest limestone basins in Great Britain. Running an aroundthe-clock operation, the
company extracts, processes and delivers more
than one million tonnes
of limestone and dolomite
products annually. Helping
to keep production on site
at an all-time high, Longcliffe is using Terex Trucks’
proven off-highway machines to move material
around its site.
Breaking from the norm
Longcliffe’s partnership
with Terex Trucks was first
established in 2013 when it
issued a tender to replace a
dump truck in its fleet that
had come to the end of its
lifespan. “The company
had been happily buying
machines from a particular
brand, but when I came
into the business we were
looking to replace a dumper and I wanted to see
what else was out there,”

explains Chris Wainwright,
operations
director
at
Longcliffe. “Terex Trucks
and its dealer, TDL Equipment, came up with an offer that was as good as the
one our existing equipment
supplier was offering. This
gave us the opportunity to
try something different.”
TDL supplied a 55-tonne
payload TR60 on site at the
quarry near Matlock for
demonstration purposes,
and that’s when optimism
within Longcliffe started
to build. While the proven
rigid hauler impressed,
Longcliffe required a machine with a bigger payload, which is where the
TR70 found favour. “The
feedback on Terex Trucks’
rigid hauler was good,
and following tests on fuel
consumption, cycle times
and carrying capacity, we
wanted to give the machine
a try,” says Wainwright.
The Brassington Moor
Quarry is split into two
working areas that are connected by a tunnel, which
was initially somewhat
of a concern for TDL’s
area sales manager, Gaz
Bourne. Not leaving anything to chance, he was
meticulous in ensuring
that the TR70 was indeed

complete with a 15-degree
sloping tail chute and exhaust heating for low material retention and cleaner dumping. The TR70’s
haul cycles are kept short
thanks to smooth acceleration which helps to keep
operators
comfortable.
Furthermore, to aid productivity, the rigid hauler
boasts a spacious air-conditioned cabin with an airsuspension seat to reduce
operator fatigue. It also
has ergonomic controls,
large mirrors, a deluxe
operator’s seat, DAB radio
and a colour reverse camera to provide excellent
visibility. The hydraulic
disc brakes also deliver
better operator control,
while the transmission
retarder decreases brake
wear, reducing ownership
costs and increasing machine availability.
“Terex Trucks’ dumpers
are built to do what they
should do and with our
new TR70, we’re getting
additional body volume
through the side extensions,” concludes Wainwright. “The fuel consumption of both the articulated
and rigid dumpers is better
than other trucks we’ve got
and the aftermarket service
and response times we’ve
received from TDL have
been good. There’s every
chance that as our older
machines come up for renewal, we’ll replace those
with Terex Trucks’ dumpers too.” b

the right truck for the site,
triple-checking the dimensions of the tunnel against
the rigid hauler.
Fit for purpose
With one TR70 working
well transporting blasted
rock from the face of the
quarry to the processing
plant, Longcliffe took the
decision in May 2014 to
add another Terex Trucks
machine to its fleet. However, this time the business
opted for an articulated
dump truck in the form of
the versatile TA400.
“We were looking to replace another rigid dumper,” says Wainwright.
“We’d always traditionally
had rigids at this site but
because of the application,
which is more tip work
and running overburden,
we also had the need for a
machine with low sides to
work in unison with one
of our smaller stock shovels. That’s why we started looking at articulated
trucks.
“We quickly got in contact with Gaz at TDL to
get an idea of what Terex
Trucks could offer. We
did some tests, brought in
some machines from other
companies and ran trials looking at turnaround
times, payloads, fuel consumption etc. After all that
we were most impressed
with the Terex Trucks
TA400.”
Crafted with almost 70
years of manufacturing
expertise, the innovative
articulated framed truck
achieves a payload of 38
tonnes and is powered
by a six-cylinder, Scania
DC13 EU Stage 3B compliant engine that achieves

a gross power of 331 kW
(444 hp) and a maximum
torque of 2,255 Nm (1663
lbf ft). Renowned for high
uptime and reliability, the
TA400 has great traction
and an effective power-toweight ratio to ensure material is moved as quickly
as possible in all conditions – providing excellent
productivity and low cost
of operation. Additionally,
the machine features a spacious and ergonomic cabin,
complete with a commanding view for maximum operator comfort.
Happily operating two
machines
from
Terex
Trucks within its large fleet
of equipment, Longcliffe
placed TDL at the top of its
call list in May 2017 when
the time came to acquire
a new truck. Pleased with
the overall performance of
the TR70, Longcliffe challenged the Scottish manufacturer to modify the truck
slightly to increase its body
volume by adding side extensions and tweaking the
machine to make it a perfect fit for its operator, Andre Needham.
“I gave Terex Trucks a
long list of specifications to
make the truck just right
for me and they didn’t disappoint,” says Needham.
“I’ve got 40 years’ experience in quarrying and I’ve
operated a lot of equipment
but the TR70 is by far the
most comfortable ride –
even after 30 to 40 rounds
a day.”
Well suited to the application, which is made
up of hard rock, the Motherwell-built rigid dump
truck was created to journey on through the tough-

est terrains. The TR70 is
fitted with a Detroit Diesel
MTU-2000TA 12 cylinder,
24-litre engine that provides a maximum torque
of 3,323 Nm (2,450 lbf ft)
and a gross power of 567
kW (760 hp). The proven
performer, which provides
excellent rimpull thanks to
a resilient drivetrain and
rear axle configuration, is
constructed with an Allison H6620AR, 6-speed
transmission. Its effective
gearing, coupled with optimum weight distribution,
means the machine can
move more using less fuel
in less time.

How Important Is Trucking
To An Economy?
The trucking industry is an integral part of
any economy. Practically
every industry relies on
trucking for the delivery
of materials, in order to
manufacture or produce
the product and then deliver the product to the
marketplace.
Look around your
home or office, chances
are that each product
from the furniture to
the clothes you’re wearing to the food you eat
has seen the inside of a
truck. Most aspects of
everyday life are only
possible because of the
hard work of truck drivers and trucking companies. The trucking industry is helping people
get the things they need
everyday.
We often think of trucking, solely being a truck
and a driver. In Manitoba,
Trucking directly employs
over 28,000 people and
contributes more than 2
Billion to Manitoba’s GDP
annually. With more than
475 for hire trucking companies in Manitoba and
our geographical location,
it shouldn’t come as a surprise that the Pembina/
Emerson border crossing,
is the 5th busiest CA/
US crossing. As a result,
Highway #75 moves 19

Billion in trade between
Manitoba and the United
States.
Trained truck drivers are integral for the
trucking industry to
run smoothly and efficiently, however there
are many moving parts
and pieces to a trucking company. Like most
businesses,
trucking
has many departments/
teams behind the scenes
and on the front lines.
Dispatchers,
Maintenance Facilities, HR
departments, Customer
Service, Logistics and
Supply, Business Development and Administrative Support, to mention
a few.
Between 2016 and
2025 the trucking industry
in Manitoba will need to
fill more than 8,200 jobs
including; 3,400 new drivers and more than 2,000
Heavy Duty Technicians.
That would equate to almost 1 trained driver required every day for the
next 10 years. All these
numbers are staggering,
but it’s safe to say, any
disruption in truck transportation services will
cause lots of economic
disruptions in all sectors
of the economy. b

“The
new
Aspen
M5500-8 Commercial trailer offers a 116 inch gooseneck swing, meaning you
can get under the trailer
with your 4 axle tractor
without being punished by
the extra weight and hassle

of flipping an extension”
reports John Zork, Aspen’s
Vice President. “In keeping
with Aspen’s commitment
to Haul More, we are offering the market a 55 Ton
trailer that can consistently
haul its stated payload, as
many times a day and as
many days a year as you
need it to.”
If you prefer a simple set
up that makes you money,
the new Aspen M5500-8
Commercial trailer is the
one for you. Bolted load
bearing wheel covers, low
profile power pack installation and 116 inch gooseneck swing with 26 feet of
wide open deck and 53 feet
overall length are just a few
of the features this trailer
offers the market. Contact

Kubota Canada Expands Its
Presence In Eastern Canada
Nearly two years after its parent company,
Kubota Corporation, acquired the five divisions
of Great Plains Manufacturing Inc., including
several facilities in Kansas, Kubota Canada Ltd.
(KCL) is pleased to announce it has taken over
the distribution of Great
Plains equipment from
La Coop fédérée for Quebec and Atlantic Canada.
As it did with Land
Pride in 2017, KCL is
thrilled to now be able to
offer innovative, durable
and
high-performance
Great Plains equipment
to farmers across Quebec
and Atlantic Canada at
their local Kubota deal-

& Forestry. “Receiving
this design-focused award
validates that we not only
manufacture equipment
based off of our customers’ needs, but that our
designs
are
forwardthinking and stand out in
the industry.”
A jury of 14 designers,
architects, journalists and
critics identified the 310E
ADT as a GOOD DESIGN
AWARD recipient due to
its strong chamfers, color
breakup and stout overall
proportions that secure an
active stance and directional assertiveness. The
design language used in
development of the ADT
is incorporated in all John Source: John Deere

Plains equipment to its
offering in Quebec and
Atlantic Canada is yet
another step in that direction.
Through
its
range of user-friendly
and reliable models, as
well as a strong dealership network operating
in many communities
across Canada, KCL continues to strengthen its
position in a highly competitive market. Thanks
to its promotional initiatives and diverse financing methods, along with
the fact that it belongs
to one of the few companies in the agricultural
sector headquartered in
Canada, the Kubota and
Great Plains brands are
establishing themselves
as the top choice in the
hearts and minds of Canadians. b

acquisitions such as
Great Plains Manufacturing, but also invest in

so that current and potential clients could access an expanded range
of high-quality products
when the time came
to invest in their farm
